The depths of many marvelous moments
seen all at one time  *

If you’re in the mood for a little knitting adventure without having to cross the crazy complicated border, Nyx is the one for you. There are several techniques to indulge in, which are all carefully explained in the pattern. The colorwork and the different stitch patterns are placed in a soothing rhythm, resulting in a cushy fabric that looks like it’s adorned with woven ribbons.

CONSTRUCTION
Nyx is a large triangle shawl worked top-down, starting with a classic garter tab. The colorwork is achieved using several different techniques. These stitch patterns and techniques used are carefully explained in the pattern.

SIZE
One size
Approx 200 cm / 78.75” wingspan along the top edge and 75 cm / 29.5 ” deep.

YARN
Fingering weight yarn, preferably with some elasticity and bounce.
Due to the colorwork, there will be (relatively short) floats on the wrong side of the wrap. These floats can look quite beautiful, but to make sure they will stick to the fabric nicely, I would recommend a non-superwash wool or wool blend yarn.

MC approx 750 m / 820 yards.
CC1 approx 300 m / 330 yards.
CC2 approx 95 m / 105 yards.

The tassels are optional. The sample has 3 tassels, which used approx 70 m / 75 yards of the CC2.
